It sounds good enough to eat (but don’t)! The time-honored tradition of the Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival is back April 14-23.
If you’re visiting Bamboo Beach Club Resort, do not miss this extraordinary showcase of sand sculpture at its finest, all at the glorious Pier 60, just eight minutes away.
Eleven world-class sculptors will create elaborate sand sculptures from Clearwater’s famous sugar sand. This year’s theme is Sugar Sand FantaSea that will take visitors on a magical journey above and below the sea.
There are a lot of great events happening, so here are the highlights.
